Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: fly predators

hi Ridgley - what are fly boots?

We used DE last year but just sprinkled on the manure piles - it didn't seem to make much difference - this year i am going to feed it to the alpacas and see if that helps.

i've tried fly spray, wipes and roll-on. Nothing seemed to last for long. Does anyone use the alpaca fly-masks i've seen advertised?

Glad you brought that up :-) (one of my future questions). We tried them for the first time last year with our (2) horses and my husband and I kept asking each other all summer long whether we noticed any difference. (As we shovelled the manure). We're in NJ. We have friends in MD that say they're wonderful which is why we tried them. But I really don't think it helped. Their website says it can take a couple of years for them to really "kick in" - but I think I'll stick with my fashionable fly boots.
Can alpacas wear things like that?
